They included FeMC so that everyone in the real P3 protagonist's party looks at her and goes "Who the hell are you?" while she desperately tries to tell them they know who she is.

She's the Maniac Mode of this game
Since no one knows her or can see her it will be solo all the time

Does the first one have a good story? If I really love Persona will I enjoy it?

No, it's basically fan fiction tier writing. But if you love Persona you probably will enjoy it. There's a certain charm to having the characters interact with each other. Gameplay's great and having to pick out a party out of your favorite Persona characters is such a joy. Dungeon design is probably better than the numbered games as well.

The story barely exists until the last 80% of the game, and a few of the characters (particularly Chie, Akihiko, and Teddie) get reduced to really flat stereotypes. That said, it still has some really good character interactions for all the other characters, so I'd at least recommend picking it up during one of the 3DS sales Atlus is always having.

Immediately shot up as one of my most anticipated titles for (hopefully) next year. I feel like PQ1 is almost underrated. It's OST is absolutely phenomenal.

FeMC? Sle a bit ATLUS.

Now, if someone could go to that basement and also release the cast of Persona 1 and 2~

Outside of the final chapter (which is fantastic), no.

If you like Persona and dungeon crawlers you'll probably like this. The game is 100% a dungeon crawler. Although there's a lot more cutscenes than an Etrian Odyssey game, even more than Untold 2. The gameplay and encounter design isn't quite as good as an EO game, in fact it's kinda busted if you use certain characters and skills. But the dungeon design is GOAT levels of good in the genre.

I haven't. It's pretty similar to SMT Strange Journey, right?

What are the major draws to the game if the story isn't fantastic? The dungeon crawling and character interaction? Are their social links? I apologize if I'm derailing the thread.
Dungeon crawling. It is just dungeon crawling with skits of flanderized characters. So basically like Strange Journey, except there's a bigger emphasis on map making and there's front and back rows in combat.

Great fan service including character interactions, some neat dungeons, and the soundtracks are superlative. Mechanically the games are interesting as well.

EO (and by extension persona q) is all about the battle system and map making. Story is whatever

Looking at screen shots on tumblr I wanna know what's up with Bomberman Aigis.

I'm curious how there gonna explain this. Like are they gonna say she's what would happen if BlueKoto had been born a girl?
I'm betting on more AU shenanigans, the new girl seems to be controlling how the story rolls in that cinema

I'm not encouraging port begging, but Splatoon did it. Just one map to open the map. Unless EO really ends with EOX I'm sure they'll come up with similar trade-offs.
Basically a rethinking of EO is needed to get it to work on the Switch, or any similar system. I am sure it will come with EO6. This is not EO6. Right now, this is working within the frames of EO as they are. Therefore it can only be on 3DS.

Having the full cast of 3-5 and still a limited party of just 5 members is going to make party management a mess. Hope they think of something around this.
